How many teeth does an aardvark have? April 27, 2001
Arnold Van Fossen (Honolulu, Hawaii)
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is one excellent resource for lay people and students that helps understanding scientific concepts and terminology that bombards us today. While the television tells us that we will be blasted into an ice age through the greenhouse effect, we can enjoy browsing through this to find out the whys and hows. There are plenty of cross-references within entries that make it easy to locate information. It's a good read and worth putting into your library.
